SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 263,200, dated August22, 1882.

Application filed April 18, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JAMES O.NE1LL, ofLolland, in the county of Redwood and State of Minnesota, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Bag-Holders, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention consists in a novel construction, arrangement, andcombination of a tubular standard provided with a spring, a hopperprovided with a shank or stem, and a flanged or flaring neck, ashereinafter more particularly described.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side view, partly in section, of an apparatus constructedaccording to my invention. Fig. 2 is a bottom view, showing the band andclasp holding the bag in position on the neck of the hopper. Fig. 3 is asimilar view, showing the clasp in position for being fastened orunfastened.

A represents a base or foot. from which rises a tubular standard, B, inwhich is a coiled spring, 0.

The hopper D is of funnel shape, with its neck d flanged or flaring atthe lower end. The hopper D is provided with a shank or stem, E,extending outward from one side and then downward and fitting in thetubular standard B, so as to rest on the spring 0.

Any form of tie may be used-such as the common elastic band Gr, link h,loop 1', and hook j-to hold the bag on the hopper while in use.

The operation of my invention is as follows: The stem E being in placein the standard B, the mouth of the bag I is placed around the neck 61of the hopper, and the band G is then passed around the bag andfastened. The bag is thus held securely in place, as shown in Fig. 1.The bag is removed by reversing the position of the hook so as torelease the band.

The advantages of my invention are: It is cheap and simple in itsconstruction, easily 0perated, strong and durable, and notliable to getout of order. The spring provides for bolding the bag up from the flooruntil its bottom is filled out, after which the contents of the bag areallowed'to carry it down until its bottom rests on the floor. Theflanged or flaring neck enables the bands to hold the bag securely, soas not to slip out of place.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a bag-holder, the combination, with the base A, tubular standard B,and inclosed spring 0, of the bent shank E and hopper D, as shown anddescribed.
